Story
For the last 8 months I have walked passed a man sleeping rough on the Muswell Hill section of the parkland walk. I have talked to him on and off to see how he is doing however he is very quiet and private and say's he his fine every time. My next route was to contact Street Link which is a service that connects rough sleepers with local services. They emailed me back saying they have talked to him but he refused any help.
I understand that he obviously rather stay as he is, which is fine, however in these freezing temperatures I find it so hard to just keep walking by him, as i'm sure everyone who walks on this stretch of the parkland walk.
So my thoughts was to raise enough money to buy him a top of the range sleeping bag that would keep him warm.
